Gears of War Message Board  

i seen somewhere that it will be on the PC, but im guessing its gonna be like Halo 2 and only be for Vista, since their both XBox titles it probably will only be for Vista.

*Booooooooooo*

scratch all that, didnt see everyone elses posts lol. but yeah prolly will be only for Vista.

I don't know for sure, but if they made it Vista only (which would be stupid on every level, no self respecting gamer is going to buy Vista for 1 (or 2) games. Also on their site it isn't titled, "Gears of War - Vista" like Halo 2 was. The box does show the Games for Windows logo, not any Vista only stuff.

Leads me to believe that it will be for both.

Microsoft likely got the clue that Halo 2 didn't sell nearly as well as it would have for PC if they didn't force Vista only.

GoW PC is XP-supported. Granted, I don't think it will have all the LIVE mumbo jumbo, but I'm certain its XP available. All the magazine articles and internet articles I've read about it say so.

it's out on the 6th or the 9th, not sure which as different places say different things lol, but hey its only 2 days.

New content includes a new mp gamemode, king of the hill, couple new maps and a chunk of new campaign with the big scary locust boss thing that you see in a cutscene somewhere.

Gears of War PC Facts:

- It is available for both Windows XP and Windows Vista 32bit/64bit.

- It will be Games for Windows Live Enabled on both OS's

- You can double your achievement points since it counts as a "brand new" game.

- All of the features available on the 360 version will be available along with new game modes, extra multiplayer content, extra single player content and the Unreal Engine 3 Editor for mods.

- It is graphically superior to the Xbox 360 version in both DX9 and even more so in DX10. IGN PC has done a head to head if you don't believe me.

- The game is releasing on November 6th and will be in most Gamestop locations by November 7th.


Rumor: I hear they made it so it's not compatible with the new non-game add-on feature that STEAM recently implemented. That would suck considering I access all of my games via STEAM.

I ordered this today, should come on release day, Friday 9th (uk). looks pretty great tbh i don't have a 360 so i thought i needed this. i can play all my friends through the live service on their 360's too

How much did you have to pay for your live? are you sure you can play against 360 players cos there are different maps and n stuff?

Hello all

YEEPEE ! Gears of war on PC ! We're gonna kick some ass ! Hope I'll be able to get it as soon as possible, very hard for me in France.
